Depressant (say: dih-preh-sunt) - A depressant is a drug that slows a person down.
Doctors prescribe depressants to help people be less angry, anxious, or tense.
Depressants relax muscles and make people feel sleepy, less stressed out, or like their
head is stuffed. Some people may use these drugs illegally to slow themselves down and
help bring on sleep - especially after using various kinds of stimulants. (See below.)
Hallucinogen (say: huh-loo-sun-uh-jun) - A hallucinogen is a drug, such as LSD, that
changes a person's mood and makes him or her see, hear, or think things that aren't
really there.
Inhalant (say: in-hay-lunt) - An inhalant, such as glue or gasoline, is sniffed or "huffed"
to give the user an immediate rush. Inhalants produce a quick feeling of being drunk followed by sleepiness, staggering, dizziness, and confusion.
Narcotic (say: nar-kah-tik) - A narcotic dulls the body's senses (leaving a person less
aware and alert and feeling carefree) and relieves pain. Narcotics can cause a person to
sleep, fall into a stupor, have convulsions, and even slip into a coma. Certain narcotics such as codeine - are legal if given by doctors to treat pain. Heroin is an illegal narcotic
because it is has dangerous side effects and is very addictive.
Stimulant
(say: stim-yuh-lunt) - A stimulant speeds up a person's body and brain.
Stimulants, such as methamphetamines and cocaine, have the opposite effect of
depressants. Usually, stimulants make a person feel high and energized. When the
effects of a stimulant wear off, the person will feel tired or sick.
